Free admission, upon reservation on line
Every first Thursday of each month, from 6.30 to 7.30 pm, a writer in residence opens a window on his or her work, universe and motives, in a free form of intervention. An hour of carte blanche to share, followed by a drink.
What a poem strives for is not to ratify concepts nor to search for certainties, but rather to create a space where questions are posed, where imagination and desire can flourish and broaden, in the process, reality itself. In a true poem, all categories are called into question: emotion thinks, syntax is moved, form defends solitude, silence reaches the difficult status of the “mot muet”, as proposed by Jacques Rancière. Maybe this is why true writing always subverts the conventional, including the convention of language itself.
